A quintet from the U.S. Air Forces in Europe Band plays the U.S. national anthem and joins U.S. paratroopers assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division chorus at the Three Cemeteries Monument ceremony during the 82nd commemoration of D-Day in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, June 2, 2026. The chorus sang "Requiem for a Soldier," a hymn inspired by Band of Brothers. The Three Cemeteries Monument honors the 14,000 U.S. troops, particularly from the 82nd Airborne Division, who fell during the battle to liberate Normandy, France.
On June 6, 1944, the United States military participated in the largest multinational amphibious landing and operational military airdrop in history. This assault led to France’s liberation from the German military and the eventual defeat of the Nazis. By the end of the D-Day invasion, more than 9,000 allied troops were dead or wounded.
